Weather permitting, seal coat work on individual roads will last 2-3 days. Work on all of the roadways listed is expected to be completed by mid-September.

“Seal coating is TxDOT’s way of maintaining the roadways and increasing their lifespan,” said Chelsea Humphrey, TxDOT’s Public Information Officer. “It seals in any cracks that have resulted from normal wear and tear and prevents moisture from seeping into the road’s foundation.”

Drivers should anticipate intermittent lane closures while work is performed. Those traveling in the area are urged to use caution around personnel and equipment, avoid any distractions, and obey all posted traffic signs.
